Mafia [GAME THREAD] Karen Mafia (Endgame - Mafia Wins)

i understand the context. antonio still was a viable cfd candidate because he was up for elimination w/ 2 votes lower. antonio EASILY could've had a cfd against him, regardless of what you said
my qualm is that it seemed like kat was grasping for straws at eod. not against an antonio elim, not against a dedenne elim, not against an elim against me. all of this happened within the course of 20 minutes

i do agree that kat's eod looked bad because it felt like hedging, but i feel like i kind of did the same thing and it came from a place of genuine uncertainty for me so i just don't really know if it's AI

like idk about anyone else but i had 0 confidence at all for the entirety of day 1. it felt like discussion was really stifled and nobody was really that interested in talking about anything. the activity in the last hour was good but it almost felt like people had forgotten about the game up to that point
 
Just a reminder, Kat wasn't the only one to EOD.

I believe Epona and Ronisby both changed your votes with a similar attitude.

uncertainty isn't the qualm -- the willingness to follow majority is, which allows people to lie low bc "oopsie!!!!! i'm not maf i just made a wittle ewwow ;_;." being uncertain, expressing that, and voting who you believe is different than being willing to jump on 3 wagons and settling for the one who's going to provide 1 singular tl if town

don't understand the sl on me either for trying to provide an alternative to blatant uncertainty while not providing a solution. i genuinely don't believe maf would try to give room for reasoning when everyone was wildly out of sorts and there was the potential for a wasted eod. which makes me believe that one of the "uncertain" people are maf

also willing to kill dedenne in order to provide tl bc you defended her...... i do not UNDERSTAND. it'd be acceptable if either of them did something blatantly anti-town, but that never happened. the only thing that's not even anti-town, but questionable, was antonio's rng 2.0 suggestion

i also don't like volt's death, bc imo people who've played w/ them absolutely understand the fact that they won't tunnel someone they sus, but rather just make comments/vote for who they want. look at the last km -- volt led an elim on cake bc they had a feeling/didn't think it was the other 2 being questioned. endless made a solid point, there are stronger players. more specifically people who WILL tunnel you to death. that's exactly why i killed you in june maf -- straight up fear kill. that's not an insult towards them, it's the difference in playstyle. i think volt's reads need to be analyzed bc i truly think they were onto something and one of the maf were scared or uncertain

pls say my thoughts are cohesive here. besides that, i think there's at least 1 maf in both the antonio/dedenne wagons

yeah i understand what you mean
re: the bolded it pinged me too but my tinfoil was a kat/dedenne team and that kat was setting me up to be framed in the event dedenne was the lynch (at the time, dedenne was the only one who had been cased so it was entirely plausible she'd be lynched without kat actually having to actively bus). obviously i've abandoned that now though bc dedenne flipped town

i'll try and make a readslist now before i go to sleep. it won't necessarily be ordered bc honestly i don't know where i am in terms of making a tiered list but i'll just post my thoughts
 
is this the 'rebuttal' everyone was asking me to respond to. i don't really know what i'm supposed to respond to here. like the first point is really the only point that was made in defense of dedenne, and whether or not someone is hesitant about feeling rusty doesn't say anything about their alignment?? like how does that mean they're town in either scenario.
Epona's defence of hesitance I didn't even think was that great a point, and not what I wanted you to respond to.

I'm going to reword epona's point to drive it home.

Here is your scumread of dedenne:
(it's dedenne)

mostly because all their posts seem to express varying degrees of hesitancy. it comes across as though they don't want to say anything controversial and then i think the "oh no there isn't much to read after i was gone" seemed kinda strange to say when i think there / was / stuff going on it was just minimal, i don't see how that sort of commentary rly helps anything and it seems more like an obvious statement than a sentiment that came out of disappointment or w/e
The bolded portion is the relevant portion.

Now, here is the quote you're talking about with that sentence:
damn was kinda expecting to have more to read but then again its day 1 so its understandable that the threads a bit dry
In isolation, your point is fine. However, epona juxtaposed that line of dedenne's with the one right before she went to bed:
but for now i am going to sleep cant wait to have loads of pages to catch up to when i wake up :D
Now, her "expecting there to be more to read" seems incredibly reasonable in line with her not being able to "wait to have loads of pages to catch up on".
Moreover, disappointment is also reasonable in this context. She stated an expectation that was absolutely reasonable and awoke for it not to be met.

This is the point I wanted you to respond to, not the subjective hesitancy issue.
 
went through volt's ISO:

tentative v/v read on the aerious/antonio back and forth. don't really think this matters much bc it was very early on
I don't think she's putting any sus, she just plays tighly and not leave room for mafia bs. but at most, this little discussion seems v/v but not assuming anything for now

suggests kat could be wolfing:
my sleepy read this and went like "what? geoni didnt say any post, he's not playing"

So, about suggesting RNG, the thing is that, the reasoning for Antonio to do it in the first place was for reaction test and getting the ball rolling, what supposedly would be a town thing since we have to work with breadcrumbs in this setup specially on day 1, BUT it's just about not underestimating scum I guess. It cancels out and I don't think it's AI, then?


+1
she said that in response to me so I didnt respond to not press further but I still dont think it is a valid, it's not like any content is good. tinfoil hat on makes me think kat could be wolfing there

and guava is just... she be like that

agreed with mylifeiscake that the memeing could be worth looking into. i disagree now but just chucked it in here in case

Agreed tbh, last game I think ness said in scumchat that he wanted to pocket dino so he started the charlie angels thing so it's definetly worth revisiting even if it's not giving much information now

And with the new rules about posting I think inactives is probably not a good lynch since they could be modkilled anyway

disagreed with the general feeling in the thread and said that ace seems totally normal (FOS on ace brought up by kat originally i think, and was gaining a bit of traction in the thread)

makes a comment on me voicing my opinion but idk what they meant here in terms of reads
honestly I think ace seems completly normal, I don't know where people are seeing the strangeness


Yea I would prefer to leave it since glow gave a strong sus but it sits well with epona way of always voicing her opinion
ngl I feel like ace is always lhf for mafia, all scumchat say to try to dogpille him, so..

brings up mog as a potential for the first time and discredits the case on dedenne

honestly, the reasoning regarding dedenne sus could be applied to mog as well, except that mog is way less active

refuting the meta townreads that kat and antonio brought up on mog despite her having only 4 posts
yeah i don't understand it either, I guess it about familiarity but her posts basically give nothing and are pretty safe. inactive lynches are basically NL since they are going to get MK so I guess I would be down to vote for mog for a combo of inactivity and something that looks like maf playing safe
ngl didnt think about it, it's not a NL, it could be 2 ML in a row

ok lets do mog them, shes been poising us with vaccine and masks??? i cant do this

was going to join me on the ronishy vote but decided against it when there was no reaction for/against it in the thread, pushes mog again
I fell the same, I was going to jump on Ronishy wagon but as no one came for her defense I suggested mog

brings the w!kat comment from earlier back up
I'm remembering my tinfoil hat theory of kat stirring up aerious/antonio was scum provoking caos

townreads antonio and dedenne and ace
I think antonio is just genuinely insecure and hesitant so not him
I kinda townlean dedenne and I think I wrote it before why I think it's on my paste
Also about dedenne, I don't agree and dedenne was problably my first slight town read, just because iirc she revived the thread a couple of times even with not much to say, it's weak reasoning but I guess I just get town vibes.

ok there it is

and ace idk he gives me comfort

so anyone else is fair ground. now who

again thinks kat is wolfing but doesn't vote her
SO WHY ARENT YALL CHANGING THE VOTE
one of u is mafia

i think it's kat

so basically volt's reads were:

town - antonio, dedenne, ace
scum?? - mog
scum - kat

i don't think the mog read is that deep i think it's just the alternative volt wanted to find a compromise between voting inactives and voting two wagons that volt was townreading
 
went through volt's ISO:

so basically volt's reads were:

town - antonio, dedenne, ace
scum?? - mog
scum - kat
i went through them too
their reads were:
town: antonio, dedenne
null: ace, guava, me
scum??: mog (combo for inactive and could be maf playing safe)
scum: kat
 
Ok, can we please start using usernames as I'm not sure who is Kat. ;-;
Post automatically merged:

Kat is Arstotzkan, correct?
 
to be honest after going through volt's ISO i don't really think they were killed for their reads, unless it's an attempt to frame mog or kat? but in my experience framing doesn't really happen as much as people like to think it does
i'd give mog and kat both more credit than killing someone who was scumleaning them, although none of volt's reads were that confident or strongly expressed so idk

i forget who said it but i agree that their last post right before the thread was locked for n1 seemed very genuine in tone and they may just have been killed because they weren't a foreseeable ML in the future

i kind of took the 'ace gives me comfort' thing as a townlean on ace but yeah pretty much

honestly, methinks antonio is lost town and kat is maf. volt was the only person sussing kat until i mentioned gut feeling at end, and fearkills do happen quite often regardless of skill. i genuinely do think volt was killed for a reason, bc i can't see anyone who's played w/ volt or just in general killing them instantly for any other purpose. i can't read ace/guava, so i'm avoiding that completely

just waiting to see what everyone else contributes
 
speaking of guava i would like to see more from her

& yes in hindsight i'm waiting til tomorrow to post reads because i want to see more people chiming in while i am asleep

you just said that volt was an unlikely fearkill though because they're not the kind of player to deathtunnel someone

i could see a w!kat world but volt's death kind of steers me away from that if anything to be honest

soz i worded this horribly. i think volt is an unlikely fearkill from someone who's played with them and kat hasn't (i believe), or at least to the extent of multiple games. my vote is p set unless something else arises. i do think it's entirely plausible that volt was killed bc they had a decent understanding of the game, and that's the only world where i can see them n1'd
 
For the same reason Volt reads are important, so we can understand the motives behind their actions since it was confirmed that Dedenne was town.
Volt was killed by mafia.
I was reading into why mafia might have committed that action. (Maybe due to his reads, for example.)

Dedenne was murdered by town.
Dedenne wasn't lynched due to her reads - she was lynched due to glow's push on them + people not wanting to lynch you last second.
I hope that clears up the difference.


like pls just let me push on the person i was pushing on because the more pressure they feel the better.
The more I thought about this the more it rubbed off as weird, you have some explaining to do glow. Some additional explaining.

So you were "Applying pressure" while you didn't post in the thread for the last 3 hours?
You said you voted because you "were taking a nap and didn't want to die for not voting".
Am I misinterpreting this by assuming you weren't reading the thread? If you weren't reading the thread, what was the point of the pressure?
Were you expecting other people to do something off it?

Or were you reading up until a point and then stopped for a nap?

I've got a lot of questions but I'm genuinely super curious about the answer.

They were both acting from a town mindset. It doesn't matter if her reads killed her or not, it matters that her opinions were coming from a town perspective.
